I would never picture you being an eccentric anything, Carl...

No shave for me today...

Palmolive - Semogue 1520 - Henkotsu Kamisori - Dr. Harris Marlborough

A combination today that I really like. I reckon this set up will be used as long as the Palmolive stick and Marlborough are in production. It's an old picture but I can't be bothered to take a new picture for it.

Here's my contribution this morning:

Coffee: Blend of 80% columbian fair trade and 20% organic peruvian (roasted and blended by yours truly)
Razor: EPD (from Orillia Canada) Custom, 8/8 Round point, 1/4 hollow, long tail (G10 scales done by me).
Brush: Vulfix Olde Original, badger
Soap: MWF
ASB/AS: Tabac
Result: Caffinated and Smooth.

Santa Maria Novella Shaving Cream : Morris & Forndran 3XL Fan Shape : Inoue Tosuke Stainless Steel : Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthom

Prep: Hot water wash with Clearly Natural Soap
Razor: Imperial Extra Hollow Ground
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap: Arko Shavestick
AS: Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel
Finish: Agua Lavanda Puig

Found the Thayers at GNC yesterday and had to see if it was up to the hype. Good stuff but for the money, I'd expect no less. Don't know if it's $10 a bottle good I guess time will tell. What next? One of them fancy BADGER brushes? Geez, I'm turning into a damn shave yuppy

Wow what a terrible photo this is...the vanity is dirty, the photo is out of focus...oh well, it is REAL and half of the time I lack focus anyway

Last night I took my time and did the full three passes. Did a lot of sculpting and trimming around the goat...getting ready for Halloween (I am going to really need to test my sculpting skills for that night). Anyway, the result was one of those top 5 shaves. That is what it is all about for me at this point in my straight shaving career (I am young in that regard)

I am hoping future photos have more burl

From the other day, forgot to post

Brush – Truefitt & Hill Pure Cream – Speik Razor – Lakeside Cutlery 5/8 Aftershave – Speik

THURSDAY

Hot shower prep
Razor: OLD SPICE Twin Blade
Blade: Personna
Soap: Williams
Mug: Bugs Bunny
Brush: VDH
Aftershock: None
Splash: Barbasol

I forgot how poorly some of these cheap blades shave. Must have been around in my drawer too long! A simple shave and I did get close without blood. With a good blade, the handle and fixin's would give a very nice quick shave on a busy morning.

The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!
